The committee appreciates the necessity to focus the early research efforts where they will have the most impact and where they can be readily implemented. Given these constraints, the priority areas selected by the JSOST appear to be appropriate, and, although they are not as clearly tied to the 21 priorities as they might have been, will advance the ocean research agenda.

, then these nearterm priority selections represent a logical path to full implementation of the ORPP. The committee would clearly support such an approach, assuming that ongoing research efforts that are ultimately essential to achieving the longer-term priorities are not disrupted without careful consideration.

Although it is important to have modeling frameworks, by adopting "consistent modeling frameworks," the resultant research might be limited to a select group of modeling approaches, stifle innovation, and lock agencies into a single family of models when science dictates the consideration of multiple approaches. The research for this priority would optimally include process studies and address restoration and management strategies.

This should provide significant information that will help determine the time frame for attaining each near-term priority · The ORPP should identify how the near-term priorities on the MOC relate to on-going Atlantic and Pacific research efforts. This would help identify possible synergisms and facilitate effective use of research resources.

From page 52... ...
· The time frames for conducting near-term and longer-term research should be clearly defined with a discussion of the balance of effort between the two sets of priorities. A sequential approach to these priorities within a 10 year research period would not be adequate to address the research needs identified in the 21 longer term priorities.
